I've Lost A Book!!!!!

I'm the proud author of ten books, but if you look to the right you'll see only nine books featured. Who would have thought that progress in my writing career would have meant that I’d ‘loose’ a book? The missing book is Rosamund’s Bower my historical fiction story set in the 12th century.

But things have gotten even more exciting! The agent responsible for judging that contest category asked to see my entire manuscript. (The contest only allows you to enter your 1st fifty pages.) After almost three months, my writer dreams have come true! Paige Wheeler of Folio Literary Management, (http://www.foliolit.com/) has offered to represent my stories and me!!! Consequently, the self-published edition of Rosamund’s Bower needs to be withdrawn for the time being while this wonderful story of faith, love, and hope gets shopped around to publishing houses.

Who would have thought that ‘loosing’ a book would be such a wonderful thing? Not me … until now.

What’s next for me? Only the Lord knows. Seriously. I’m praying for Big Black Arrows (God’s clear direction). I’m determined to be known as a ‘woman after God’s own heart’ (I Samuel 13:14) which means my primary goal is to make Him smile in all I say and do.

It’s a fascinating journey. I’ll keep you posted!

My Theme:

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Philippians 1:20-21 TNIV

In the course of my research on Rosamund Clifford, I discovered this glorious painting of Rosamund and Queen Eleanor. It's currently on display at The Bridgeman Art Library in London. They were kind enough to give me permission to use the picture on the cover of my self published book.

I've Moved!!!

Welcome!

I write quality women's fiction (historical and contemporary) and nonfiction (Bible studies) that are meant to make your heart smile. Real stories about real women who deal with real life issues - with tears, laughter, faith, and a tiny bit of sarcasm thrown in! Please take a look at my website http://www.faithinspiredbooks.com/ All the first chapters for all my books are available for you to read. Enjoy!

About Me

I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, aunt, uncle (don’t ask), teacher, author … but, most importantly, a “woman after God’s own heart.” Living in Bridgewater, New Jersey, with my husband of almost 20 years and my three children, writing stories is just about the best way I can imagine spending my free time. Each of my stories champions those emotions nearest and dearest to me: faith, joy, hope and love.
